Need advice

[Maria Lassiss]

Hi everyone! Need your help. So the situation is. I work hard, I work overtime very often, I love my job (I am manager at the restaurant) but I feel that my work is unpaid. Last month I haven’t been paid overtime but I also haven’t even been paid for all my regular hours. I really don't know what to do in such situation. I don't wanna loose my job, but I feel like it's not okay. Have you ever faced such situation?

Hmmmm, maybe you should contact a lawyer?

My mother told me the same. But I'm not sure if this would be the best solution. I think they'll just fire me.

Ok, it's up to you.
Read this Unpaid Wages Lawyer NYC - Law Office of Yuriy Moshes the law would be on your side if you decide to ask for help

Aren't there a Labor Commissioner or something equivalent there? You can try to fill a claim maybe. Provide you have the evidence like your contract etc

With how things have been going , I dont really think there is much of a future for you at this place .. Taking them to the labor commission or getting a lawyer will either way result in a loss for you .. So the best thing to do , would be to look around for another job before things get worse in th current company ( They do seem like an unscrupulous bunch and if you had to take action against them , they would fire you)

You have plenty experience and any place would be lucky to have such a hard working individual . Best of luck Dear

I faced this kind of situation in my very first job . I was a secretrary for a company and the boss was a really touchy feely kind of man and he also didn't pay after I shut him down on his advances Getting a lawyer and suing him would have taken lots of money and lots of time wasted in going to court etc and I would have been fired ( if I somehow stayed on after winning that battle , he would have made me miserable if I kept the job ) so I searched for a new job and called my boss , gave him a piece of my mind and said I quit

Where I Live All of This Situation Would Be Illegal. It is Illegal Not to Be Paid for Work Completed, but it is Also illegal to Recieve Payment without Reporting Income to the Government. This is a Lose, Lose Situation! Such a Hard Worker is a Prize to Employers! You Deserve to Be Paid, You NEED to Be Paid! Bringing Any Legal Attention to this Employer Will Only Cause Negativity. You May Get Paid What You Are Owed, but More Than Likely Will Not Be Able to Continue This Job After Burning the Bridge. Look for a New Job. I Am Sure There is Another Out There That Will Make You Feel Rewarded for a Job Well Done By Paying You What You Deserve! Good Luck to You!
